What really sucks is the ratios these cable companies go with, 1000/50 is a 20/1 ratio. Having something like 500/100 would be light-years better for the vast majority of people even though you would be sacrificing overall bandwidth. Perhaps it's a conspiracy to have less tech-savvy work-from-homer's keep bumping up their speed plan because their upload speed isn't up to snuff for video meetings. Either that or cable companies feel they need to compete on advertised download speeds with fiber, which is a losing battle.
